Bailey frowned slightly.

With her skills, it would be a piece of cake for her to deal with the bunch of thugs. At the very most, she would just receive a few blows from the clubs during the battle.

However, once she let them tie her up, she would be left vulnerable to their devices.

Considering how much hatred Janice harbored toward her, Janice would definitely skin her alive.

However, it did not matter much whether she died. The point was that no one could guarantee Janice would release Zayron as promised after she was restrained.

When Janice saw how hesitant Bailey was, she smirked coldly and mocked, “You can't bear to exchange your life for your son's? You sure know how to create a good image for yourself, huh? You look all glamorous on the surface, but you're rotten to the core. F*ck all that nonsense!”

After speaking, she gripped the handle of the knife and moved her hand down swiftly. She placed the blade against Zayron's neck, where his artery was throbbing. “Bailey, you know the consequences of slitting this, right? If I sever his carotid artery, not even God can save your son. If I can't kill you, I'll drag your son down to the grave with me.”

Bailey subconsciously took a step forward. Gritting her teeth, she steeled herself and spat, “Let your subordinates come and tie me up. I won't resist. However, you must release my son. Otherwise, the Luther family will never spare you.”

Although she hated being involved with the Luther family, she could not care much at this juncture of life or death. If bringing up the Luther family was enough to scare Janice, it would be for the best.

However, Janice merely burst out laughing. She was extremely amused at how Bailey did not dare to say anything despite being furious.

“Why are the few of you still standing there? Tie her up right now!”

“Got it!”

Two thugs walked over with rope. They placed Bailey's arms behind her back and tied her up tightly.


Glancing at Janice icily, Bailey hissed, “Don't think that I can't do anything to you just because my hands are tied. If I want to kill you, I can do that in the blink of an eye. Janice, you better honor your promise and release my son. Otherwise, no one here will leave alive.”

Janice's body could not help but tremble slightly. From Bailey's cold gaze, she could see an intensely murderous look. Why is that woman's gaze so bloodthirsty and vicious?

At that moment, she did not even suspect that Bailey would do exactly what she warned. Even though Bailey's arms were tied, Janice's instincts told her that Bailey could actually kill her in the blink of an eye.

“Toss this brat out and wake him up with cold water. Tell him to get lost immediately.”

“Got it.”

After watching the thugs carry her son out, Bailey finally heaved a sigh of relief.

As long as her child was fine, she did not mind how dangerous the situation would become.

“All right. I've already released your child. Now, it's time for us to settle the score between us, once and for all.”

After speaking, Janice strode toward Bailey with the knife. Pressing the blade against Bailey's pretty face, she spat, “If I ruin this face of yours, will men still flock to you?”

Bailey stared at her coldly and said in a calm voice, “You'll find out if you try it. The knife is in your hands. Why are you speaking so much nonsense? If you want to ruin my face, just do it now.”

A vicious look flashed across Janice's face. Gritting her teeth, she asked, “Do you think that I don't dare to?”

Bailey could not be bothered to see the twisted expression on Janice's face. She closed her eyes and said nonchalantly, “You've already dared to kidnap a child. Is there anything else that you can't do? If you want to kill or maim me, just help yourself. Cut the crap and be swift.”

“You...” Fury filled Janice's eyes. If she could, she really did not mind disfiguring Bailey's face.

After all, she would just be in jail for a few years. She would not mind. As long as she could make Bailey's life horrible, she was willing to do anything.

However, there were some things that were out of her control.

“What's wrong? Are you scared?” Bailey opened her eyes and glanced at her. She mocked, “Your hand is trembling so much. How can you kill someone? I guess that you've never killed anyone before, right? Do you need me to teach you a few moves? The heart is the most vulnerable. As long as you stab it, the person will die on the spot. If you don't believe me, try it out now.”

As Janice gripped the handle of the knife, her hand trembled even more violently. A look of despair flashed across her eyes.

This woman is right. I've never killed anyone before. The grudge between us is not so serious that I must kill her. However, I can't sit back and do nothing about her taunts!

“Y-You! Shut up! Otherwise, I'll actually stab you to death.”

Bailey shrugged and said with a smile, “Janice, you aren't an evil person who's beyond saving. Let me go. I won't call the police, and we'll pretend that nothing ever happened. How's that?”

Janice's eyes turned bloodshot. Glaring at Bailey fiercely, she yelled, “What about my job? What about my relationship? You ruined everything. How can I pretend that nothing ever happened? Bailey, you deserve to die. If not for you, would I have reached this stage in life?”

Bailey sighed softly.
